I have helped the some of the top executives of the nation’s largest corporations and organizations write their books. While I function as the writer, they are indeed the authors of their own books. Their stories, their thoughts, their experiences along with their accumulated wisdom and expertise are all transferred to the pages of a book under their direction. Continue reading and enjoy a few excerpts from some of their books.

Excerpt from a book intended to Mentor

One of the most powerful advantages in your life is the fact that you live in the United States of America. Within the framework of this great country, you can live and flourish. Unlike most other nations and societies of any age, America allows you to write the script of your own life! Our Founders formed a nation that allows all Americans to enjoy a wide berth of opportunities – in a system of economic freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. As you appreciate the amazing environment for business opportunities this country affords you, you will need to develop your own capacity to avail yourself. Nobody will give you anything – you have to earn it. Those who sit around moping, waiting for someone to come along and give them what they want will be very sad throughout their entire lives—dissatisfied, unfulfilled, and even bitter. Understanding how to build something I have come to term “your personal Mental Balance Sheet,” in order to take control of and shape your own life, is a fundamental head start, which should last a lifetime if you learn it well and take it seriously. - Mort Fleischer

Excerpt from a book about Personal Development

My goal is to make this book to be like a big mirror. I want to show you 'you.' I want you to see yourself in these pages (imperfections and all) and yet realize the potential within yourself to become something amazing—and then I want to show you how to climb for that lofty height. This isn’t about setting the right kinds of goals. There’s plenty of other material about that already out there. This is about achieving goals. This isn’t so much about looking for future success as it is about evolving you into the person who will achieve whatever kind of success you want. I’m talking about motivation on one level, but I’m really talking about self-actualization—about becoming the very best you that you could ever become. This isn’t a pep talk to pump you up; it’s a deep dive to connect you with what already moves you and then help you harness that momentum and take it in new directions beyond all limits. - Spencer Pettit

Excerpt from a Life Story

During the Great Depression the farmers in Idaho were some of the few who managed to eat well, although they lacked most other things. We didn’t have many luxuries anyway—no running water, and no electricity, so we didn’t have any modern appliances like a refrigerator or a washing machine. We had an outhouse, and if you had to use the restroom in the middle of the night, you bundled up and went outside, or you used the pot inside, and carried it out the next morning. It was as bad as it sounds. What we couldn’t raise on the farm we had to buy from the grocery store, which was about five miles away. That was a long trip for us, especially in the winter when it snowed. There were no snowplows, so all of the farmers hitched their horses to sleighs and drove them all the way to the store. If the local store didn’t have what we needed, we sometimes had to make the ten-mile trip to Idaho Falls. - Ralph Wadsworth

Excerpt from a collection of Family Stories

Years ago, while living in France, my colleague and I were chatting with a person we had recently met and were still getting to know.
"You two are both American, aren't you?" she asked.
"Yes," I said. "I'm from Tucson, Arizona, and my partner here is from another state altogether."
"That's interesting, especially since I know so much about Tucson," said the woman.
"Have you been there?" I asked.
"No," she said. "But I've watched a lot of 'High Chaparral' westerns on TV."
I guess I must have looked either amused or maybe even confused because she quickly added, "But of course you're too modern to be a cowboy, but your dad, your dad was a cowboy, right?”
"No," I said. "My dad is a laser physicist at an aerospace company."
Though I tried to say it kindly and with a smile, it was clear that she was embarrassed for having been so far off the mark in her estimate of modern life in Tucson, Arizona. In an effort to throw her an historical reference as a conversational life preserver, I said, "But my grandfather was a 'turn of the century' cowboy." She seemed even more confused.
I continued, "Thinking back to your world history studies in school, do you remember ever seeing pictures of Poncho Villa?"
"Yes," she said. "He dressed like a cowboy and often rode a horse, but he also drove some of the early cars of his day."
"Exactly," I said. "Well, Poncho Villa and my grandfather were boyhood friends."
"Really?" said my American colleague. "Poncho Villa killed my grandfather."
The conversation was over. - Anonymous at client request

Excerpt from a book intended to Inform and Influence

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” (George Orwell)

Only two other seismic shifts in medical science can compare to what is about to happen in conventional medicine very soon; one occurred roughly one hundred years ago and the previous one like it, approximately another hundred years before that.
In 2003 a major medical discovery was made. For reasons I explain in this work, it is the best kept secret in medical science history. Medical scientists discovered the existence of a human healing system contained in our human bone marrow. These naturally produced Healing Adult Stem Cells (let’s call them “Healing Cells” for our discussion) are the body’s own system of re- placing injured or dead cells. Replacing injured cells is how the body heals itself—how it overcomes the harmful effects of disease and injuries. Harnessing the healing effects of this new medical discovery, we set up offshore clinics and began treating patients, often with astonishing results. Let me share one of my favorite treatment experiences with you.

Excerpt from a book about Political Issues

Finding balance in all aspects of life is essential to our health and welfare as citizens of states and members of families all across our nation. This has always been the case, and our forbearers went to extraordinary lengths to encode this sense of balance into our national DNA. In my own life I have found myself seeking that ever-evasive point of equilibrium between being a wife and being a mother, or between being a mother and being a full-time nurse at the local hospital, or between being a political Party leader and being a fair-minded sounding board for all interested participants in the legislative process. Fairness and wisdom dictate that we weigh all points of view, needs, and relative costs when deliberating any possible course of action—and this responsibility increases proportionally with the number of people that will be affected by a decision. I don’t think many people will disagree with me on this point—not in theory anyway.

Then there are times when the interests of one party seem to temporarily outweigh all others—like the crying toddler who wails just as Mommy and Daddy are heading out for a movie, or the farmer whose family land is in a tug-of-war between federal agencies and conservation groups. Some needs require our focused and immediate attention. To the extent possible, even emergency situations should receive balanced and thoughtful responses. We can take a moment to soothe the heartsick child, or we can personally intervene and advocate for the farmer who knows little about dealing with government agencies or defending against special interest groups in court.
